Cinetrain, a biennial project, is inviting young filmmakers from around the world to travel across Russia by train and make short films.

Within a month of traveling by train through widely unknown regions of Russia the crew of film professionals will shoot and edit a collection of short creative documentary films that will draw a map of modern Russia, far away from stereotypes, preconceived ideas or any kind of ideology.

Cinetrain will cover transport, meals, equipment and shelter along the way. The participants are responsible for their own airfare to and back from Moscow as well as the visa expenses. Partial travel (from and to the participant’s home country) and visa expenses may in some cases be offered to participants who are not Russian and do not reside in Russia.
